Volume Spikes — Indicator by tradeforopp

movingaverage volumestudies ict inducement stopraid volumespike volumemovingaverage

Shows volume spikes over a certain threshold, using a symbol's volume moving average as the baseline. Offers a few different filters regarding candle shapes and types, in an attempt to catch quick moves on extremely low timeframes (sub-1m).

Ultimately I would like to integrate this logic into an indicator that contains automated stop raid/inducement detection.

Release Notes:

Added session parameter so that volume spikes will only be shown within a valid timeframe. Also added an offset so that volume spikes are being shown on the appropriate candles, since a valid low/high requires a 3 bar pattern and therefore makes the signals "lag" by 1 bar.

Release Notes:

Added a step size of 0.1 for the volume multiplier in order to make smaller adjustments (rather than the default step size of 1).

Release Notes:

Can now create alerts from volume spikes, and also change the signal colors.
